Naruto: The hardworking model who realizes his dream is actually the white moonlight of the ninja wo

The three children were taken away by Jiraiya.

Originally, it was supposed to be like this.

Neji followed Tsunade and he didn't know when he started to forget even the way home.

He is a ninja from Konoha.

Since birth, he has been a ninja of Konoha.

As a child of the Hyuga family, he was like a bird in a cage, fulfilling his destiny like a mechanical puppet.

The so-called fate is what Ningci despises the most.

Now that there is no bird in the cage, am I trapped in the cycle of fate?

Neji didn't know, he just numbly took a step forward to meet someone he shouldn't meet.

Is there any relationship between the door room and the mission objective?

The answer is obvious, yes.

Tobirama Senju is not the target of this mission. Theoretically speaking, Neji has no reason or need to see him.

"Beep beep!"

Ever since saying goodbye to the three children, 002 has been calling the police.

"Host, please actively complete the task!"

"Host, please do not be negative about the mission."

002's choice is correct.

Of course, Ningji knew how dangerous it was to distance himself from the target of the mission.

The battle situation in Rain Village is complicated, and it is not just Konoha Village that is affected.

The three ninja villages of Rock, Sand, and Konoha are crowded in the small Rain Village - every time you take a walk, you can almost see ninjas who are not from this village.

Jiraiya is certainly capable of protecting the three children.

But Jiraiya is also one of the Konoha ninjas, and will soon become one of the three ninjas of Konoha. As an important fighting force in Konoha Village, Jiraiya has his own mission and things that only Jiraiya can do.

The gears of fate turn, and the unexpected roulette wheel is about to stop, bringing "failure" to the already exhausted executor.

Even if you choose to restart, there are situations where you definitely won’t be able to catch up.

But Neji wanted to go.

Just take a look...if only for a moment...the world can forgive you, right?

He suddenly froze.

Why should the world forgive you?

My fingertips felt like they were electrified, and the stimulation rushed straight to my brain.

The aftermath, however, was cold.

He is not a bird in a cage, at least now, he, Hyuga Neji, is free.

The sky is always there, with its unique colors reflected by light, broad, pure and endless.

As long as you spread your wings, you can fly to every corner of the world.

The mission is what he is doing now, not Hyuga Neji's destiny.

So what if the mission cannot be completed?

So what if it turns to ashes?

At this moment, Neji's soul seemed to break through the constraints of his body, becoming extremely light, and arrived in Konoha before Tsunade.

Just do what you want to do.

As Hyuga Neji, leave your own mark in this world.

The gate of Konoha looks much more worn than before.

Tsunade took Neji and moved flexibly through the streets and alleys.

The ramen shop, the dim sum shop, the Hokage office building, everything looked unchanged from before we parted.

The little girl who used to work as a handyman in Ganligan has transformed herself into the boss’s wife.

The young man who used to be a young man with immature hands changed his clothes and became a reliable chef in the store.

Tsunade, who was hanging around Tobirama, also became an outstanding ninja who could stand on her own.

To Neji, all this seemed to happen in the blink of an eye.

In fact, according to Neji's own memory, it happened just a week ago.

"Shh!"

The two hid beside the Hokage's office building and stared at Sarutobi Hiruzen.

The Sandaime Hokage wore a hat and a divine robe. When he was dressed in ninja attire, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked like a young man, but now he looks like a middle-aged uncle.

Smoking a pipe, surrounded by purple smoke, he observed Konoha's every move with a melancholy look.

"Grandpa Tobirama said to keep it a secret from Sarutobi-sensei."

"No one knows except you and me."

Tsunade blinked and jumped to the side of the tree trunk:

"Come here quickly!"

She was waving to Neji, just like how she had taken him to familiarize himself with Konoha a few years ago.

Although Sarutobi Sensei is the direct disciple of Grandpa Tobirama, he is also the successor to the title of Hokage.

But inexplicably, Grandpa Tobirama had an inexplicable feeling of distrust towards Sensei Sarutobi.

Not to Sarutobi-sensei himself, but to everything involving Nora.

A red building appeared in front of Tsunade.

It has a pointed top, a spacious courtyard, and a lush forest behind it.

This is the old residence of the Uchiha, an abandoned house.

"That's it."

Neji looked in the direction Tsunade was pointing and saw the red roof.

This place is located in the southwest corner of the village, right next to the Death Forest.

In the original timeline, the old Uchiha residence was requisitioned as a welfare facility at the beginning of Konoha, leaving only the Nanga Shrine and the new Uchiha clan land next to the shrine.

Tsunade expertly dug out a stone from the crack in the corner of the wall. The half-meter-high stone was embedded in the corner so firmly that it was impossible to see its location at a glance.

"The people living there are all old Senju men, and ninjas who are unable to work due to the war."

"This place was previously managed by Grandpa Tobirama."

Tsunade bent down, crawled into the cave, and waved to Neji again, as if urging him.

"But the elderly here have difficulty walking, their eyes and ears are not working well. After Grandpa Tobirama passes away, they will soon be requisitioned as a wartime training institution."

"These elderly people will also be transferred to other places."

Few villages are willing to handle the aftermath of the "lonely elderly" who suffered in the war.

Originally, Konoha was financially strong, so it was understandable that they did more.

Now that war has come again, I'm afraid Konoha doesn't have the extra financial and human resources to maintain the welfare institution.

The so-called Pure Land is nothing more than someone struggling to support it.

“Where will they be transferred to?”

"where?"

Tsunade saw that Neji had successfully crawled out of the cave, and moved the stones to block the entrance again.

"Of course, where no one can see."

Just by moving from one side of the wall to the other, Tsunade could relax.

"Tsuna! Here here!"

The white-haired grandmother, who was blind in one eye, knelt on the corridor beside the courtyard, shaking her severed limbs towards Tsunade.

Her entire palm was broken off, leaving only the part above the wrist, which accompanied her master through his later years.

"Where's Sarutobi-sama?"

Neji had a rough idea of ​​what kind of place this was, and his speech became more casual.

"Sarutobi-sensei?"

Tsunade snorted through her nose, but her dissatisfaction was obviously not directed at Sarutobi Hiruzen.

The female ninja led the boy into the house, which was a four-and-a-half-tatami room with a ladder extending downwards.

The wooden ladder had mottled red paint all around and the surface of the wood was peeling, and it looked like it had seen a lot of age.

"Even if Sarutobi-sensei wants to do something, he still needs to get permission from those guys, right?"

"They are all smooth talkers, and their minds are full of their own little piece of land."

The feeling of intimacy cannot be faked.

Tsunade never said these words even to Jiraiya and Orochimaru.

She knew that some words could be said, but some words would cost her her head.

Although Sarutobi Sensei has always been an indecisive and easily influenced person, if the "Konoha think tank" behind him collectively protests, he will be in danger of death even if he does not die.

Whoever's cake is touched will be unhappy. It's as simple as that.

A big part of the reason why Grandpa Tobirama can still hold on here is because he doesn't have much time left.

Faced with the teacher who was about to pass away, those guys who had more tricks than meals they had eaten would hesitate before causing trouble.

“That’s really a dilemma.”

Tsunade heard the reply from behind her right and turned around in surprise.

"What did you say?"

"You plan to continue to maintain this place in Tobirama's place, don't you?"

The pure white eyes were once again covered with cloth. It would be dangerous for a Hyuga clan member who was not recognized by the Hyuga clan leader to appear anywhere.

But even though they were covered, the magic of those eyes never diminished.

Just like when Tsunade first met Nora.

"correct."

After the surprise, Tsunade chuckled: "Why? Do you want to help me?"

"Think about the group of little ghosts around you first."

As they were talking, they arrived at Tobirama's residence.

They didn't go through the front door, so they crawled out from the closet.

The cabinet door was loose, and it was obvious that it had been climbed over many times.

But there was some dust accumulated around it - this passage must have not been used for a long time.

Neji merely glanced at Tsunade, who blushed in understanding.

"Don't look at me like that."

“Who didn’t have some talent for architecture when they were young?”

The passage was indeed Tsunade's masterpiece.

"No..."

Neji denied it with a suppressed smile: "It means I think you are amazing."

The female ninja shook her braids and secretly decided to get drunk from now on - she would not have used the second plan if she had known.

"Grandpa Tobirama, the person has been brought here."

After the cabinet door was opened, there was a bed covered with white gauze.

I don't know whose aesthetic is that - it's definitely not Tobirama's own.

In his early years, Tobirama Senju complained to Neji that whenever an old person was about to die, he would be wrapped in white gauze, as if the dying old person was something shameful.

Now it was Tobirama's turn and time was running out, so it was natural for the white gauze to be wrapped around him.

"You have become something shameful too."

Neji chuckled and said the words that came to his lips naturally.

It seems like a joke, like a mockery.

The old woman in white veil let out bursts of hoarse laughter, as if this was some rare and good thing.

The dry elbow stretched out from the white gauze, shaking slightly, motioning the boy to come closer.

"Neji..."

"I didn't expect to see you again..."

Sure enough, Nora is not a name.

This was Tsunade’s first thought: Tobirama had deceived her many times about this matter before.

But now, it was easily said by Tobirama.

Sometimes death is transparent air, exhaled by Tobirama and inhaled by Tsunade.

The female ninja pretending to be strong was quietly filled with despair and sadness.

There are more that spread in the narrow house, clinging to the light white gauze, and one day later, they bare their fangs and sharp teeth, catching the person who is reminiscing by surprise.
